In analyzing the blood samples, the CDC scientists found antibodies in 39 samples from California, Oregon and Washington state collected between December 13 and December 16.

The antibodies don’t appear the day you’re infected. Those people had coronavirus in November.

That’s the thing about this virus. By the time you know you have it, when you caught it is ancient history, and you could have infected dozens of people already. So yea, it could have taken months before anyone knew what was going on.

Yeah that’s nuts. It would be super interesting to know more about the background of these people. Like did they travel a lot or are they just typical people in the community giving blood. If they didn’t go anywhere your looking at introduction to the major gateway cities like October/September 2019? Maybe earlier?

My grandmother swears she had COVID last Thanksgiving, sicker than she’s ever been, literally called off Thanksgiving dinner for the first time ever.

She lives in Alabama and hasn’t traveled more than a couple of states over in years.
